Chateau d'Urspelt

  : Nuxe spa is the best! And the staff very friendly.Bed was very confortable and the ambient is magnificent. Every detail matters and you can feel it. It was such a magic experience.
  : Room size was average, not really outstanding. We cannot sleep because of the noise of people passing by the hall. There was a little hole in every room for ventilation which enables ambient noises enter to your room. We cannot sleep well and wake up few times during the night. Despite the Castle Room temperature was fine, heaters were off to dry your swimsuits at the bathroom. The restaurant offers very good service but very poor quantity to get your stomach full for the price youre paying

  : Breakfast was delicious, and the castle and the area around it were really pretty. The staff was very nice and friendly and the hotel was very clean. The hotel bar was very nice too, underground and with a charm and professionally made drinks which tasted really good. Heated water in the pool was highly appreciated.
  : We booked a 22 m2 double room, which was no more than 16 m2 (including the bathroom). It may seem silly but when it comes to hotel rooms, those few square meters make a huge difference, especially for 2 people staying in 1 room. Moreover, it was on the top floor so the ceiling was cut because of the roof, so overall it felt very claustrophobic. Out of all the pictures of the double rooms, our room was like the one cropped picture where you can barely see anything. The view was not on the garden, despite the room description. We could look into people's houses across the street.The pool is much smaller in reality than on the pictures but it was still alright to swim in as long as there were no more than a few people inside (otherwise no place to swim).Now to the most important point - the spa. You would think that the high prices for a night in this hotel are due to the spa. Well, the joke is on you. The spa is not at all included. It costs 60 per day per person, or 0 if you get a massage/treatment in the spa, and those start at 110 per person. It is not written in the hotel description and you would have to read the details on the castle's website, or find this out only after your booking.There are so many spas in this country where you pay more or less 20 for a whole day and you can stay until almost midnight. They are very well-kept and relaxing and they have 4-5 saunas, hammams, jacuzzis, cold baths, etc. The Urspelt spa offers not much more than 2 hammams, 2 saunas and it closes at 19:00...Lastly, the hotel has a restaurant with a menu where you don't know what you will be getting... a 1 course meal starts at 35 and other courses only go up.Overall, the stay was very disappointing, even despite the cleanliness, delicious breakfast and a great staff. It is in the middle of nowhere, so it's one of these hotels you book to stay in the hotel all the time.

  : Location as a great castle renovation.Room spaceSpa area is nice but not more
  : Service was certainly friendly but expediting style without personal attention.Breakfast location and arrangements was too much crowded and ended up giving a feel of cantine style.Spa area is too crowded or too small for the number of visitors.Outdoor area are nice but lack of service to provide an nice rest and chill area

  : Amazing location, beautiful hotel and spa facilities. Staff also very friendly.
  : Constant music everywhere drove me a bit crazy. Relaxed music in dining areas, fine. But in hallways and outside 24/7 music is too much - it's not Ibiza but a spa hotel of course maybe this is just me
